Thank you thank you for writing and emailing me about prayers.
GOD IS A TREE and BREAKFAST WITH ALLEN GINSBERG are both
in their third editions https://pleasureboatstudio.com/product/god-is-a-tree-and-
other-middle-age-prayers. You can find them there. In the fall there will be
a NEW BOOK OF POEMS, taken from OVERHEARD. My friends Matthew
and Sparrow both wrote that the poems are sort of Buddhist. I’m not sure
what sort of Buddhist means but I like the idea. They are also Older, Jewish, Female, etc
Sparrow gave an example from God is a Tree. He said:
This is a collection of 72 prayers, in the form of poems, numbered like the songs – written by an agnostic. This exercise in devotion-without-God inadvertently founds a new school of Buddhist poetry.
FIFTY EIGHT

if today

what would I do?
Certainly not dust.
Amen
Esther, I ordered a copy of "book doctor " online. I had the copy I purchased the night of your signing in the wonderful space a few floors above "bread &roses." my nephew asked if he could borrow the book before I got to it. I haven't seen it since. I should have reminded myself about other things he "borrowed" over the years. he seems to come down with a case of amnesia when questioned about the things you lent him. I am looking forward to reading "book doctor" upon its arrival. I love your words.-xxx
